It was before my last UP undergrad exam. Something unexpected happened.

Sitting on a place we all know, she and I gazed upon the moon that lit the night like a candlelight during a
date kind of night. I just pretended to look at the moon as I was really looking at her discreetly. It seemed
like hours that we just sat there quietly enjoying the scenery. Suddenly I felt a thud on my shoulder. Her
head was on my shoulder. It seemed like she fell asleep so I leaned my head on hers gently. She then held
my hand like couples in romantic movies would. I hoped that she could hold my hand for one minute. No.
Make it forever. She then said, “I really like you.” I felt a sensation of vibration and then…

I have a pen, I have an apple...

It seemed that I fell asleep while studying for an exam. “Hays!” I lay down on my bed depressed and
looking at the ceiling that had a paper attached onto it. It reminded me of why I study in UP.
